The look of the future
Via Jezebel (of course), here’s a video from 1930 that shows what we’ll be wearing in 2000. Electric belts, aluminium and boys who have pockets for “candy for cuties” feature prominently. Oooh swish!

Seeing red
Most women in New Zealand do not realise that heart disease is the leading single cause of death in women. To help raise this awareness, a group of fashion designers like Annah Stretton, in association with Go Red For Women have put some original designer red dresses up for auction on Trade Me. If you are a size 10/small, you could purchase and buy one of these pretty dresses, and help raise money for the cause. If you’re not a size small, well really, what relevancy could heart disease possibly have to you anyway?
Yeah, but what’s Claudia wearing?
Now, I dunno about you guys, but I grew up reading the Babysitters’ Club books – every time my mum went to the supermarket, I’d go into the bookshop, sit on the ground and work my way through them. I could never decide who my favourite one was – I liked the way that Kirsty got things done that Dawn was chilled out, but I longed to be able to dress like Claudia Kishi, and it seems I’m not the only one. In honour of an awesome blog I’ve stumbled across (and stolen this dance picture from) called What Claudia Wore, I gotta know: who’s the best dressed?

Loading ...Awesome zombie pics
This from io9.com (click here to see more awesome pics).
After we get the zombie outbreak under control, the undead will become contributing members of society, even getting work as fashion models. Fumie Sasabuchi adds drawings of exposed bones and organs to models in high fashion magazines, transforming traditional symbols of beauty into the walking dead.
Sasabuchi takes pages from fashion magazines and uses ballpoint pens and colored pencils to draw over the images. These pictures integrate images of death and decay to explore Western taboos toward death, and create a different idea of beauty.
